When I did my homework on creating nodejs ebuilds (not nodejs itself but
packages written in node), it seems the topic has come up a few times in
the past but the time commitment and general disorganization of upstream
has scared off any serious attempts at packaging.

Seeing as there has been interest in nodejs packages, and in the end we
could be talking 400-600+ packages, would it be possible to create
dev-libs/nodejs category? I would be happy to write and proxy-maintain
ebuilds for a large number of them to get things in motion. I've already
opened pull request #7427 [1] for chalk and its dependencies. I'm aiming
to build up to all the dependencies needed for Visual Studio Code OSS.
